"Rest assured, my young friend. We won't put you in a difficult position with Miss Cynthia. We've prepared a thank-you gift for her as well."
Ren Yuan didn't know that Su Bai and Cynthia were engaged. He assumed Su Bai was the young boyfriend Cynthia had met during her last trip to the Dragon Nation.
He thought Su Bai didn't want to travel with Ren Xiaoyi because he was afraid of upsetting Cynthia.
After all, older people always thought their own grandchildren were the best. Su Bai understood that much, and he wasn't about to explain himself to Ren Yuan over such a small matter.
Besides, this was a thank-you gift from a veteran Elite Four member of the Dragon Nation. Cynthia was still a newly appointed Champion. Wouldn't it be better if some outside support could help secure her position?
"What sort of thank-you gift could you offer, Senior Ren?"
"A Dreepy with champion-level potential."
Ren Yuan smiled slightly.
"Also, the Ren Family will give her a Jangmo-o with champion-level potential. How we acquire it is our family's concern, but we guarantee it will come from a legitimate source."
Su Bai was tempted.
Sinnoh already had a rich variety of Pokémon, but as an earlier generation, it was at something of a disadvantage when it came to pseudo-legendaries.
Kommo-o and Dragapult were both pseudo-legendaries with base stats totaling 600, and both were Dragon-types.
The Dragon-types native to the Dragon Nation had advantages over those of other regions. That was internationally recognized.
And these had champion-level potential and came from an Elite Four family. Either would be an ace in anyone's hands, yet the Ren Family was offering two at once.
It was an extravagant offer, full of sincerity.
Of course, anything less wouldn't have been a worthy gift for
